This year, for the first time, the Itoshima area is host to a seven month long arts event! The Itoshima Arts Farm (Itoshima Geinou) started on May 5, and will run all the way through to Nov. 4. The event is a collaborative effort, showcasing the work of artists and designers along with the rich food resources of Itoshima. The Itoshima area (located just out of the Fukuoka metropolitan area) has always been blessed with great agriculture, but in recent years has become a mini-hub for artists and designers, who have moved to Itoshima to pursue their arts. The Itoshima Arts Farm incorporates various workshops, performances, exhibitions, talks and other events. You’ll also have a chance to purchase Itoshima products and Itoshima Arts Farm original items, as well as enjoying the sweets and breads at the Gainou Cafe.
